In this parable from Farid al-Din Attar's Mosibat Nameh, a madman sits in a graveyard holding a deceased person's head and plucking the hair from it. When questioned about his actions, the madman explains that although this head was once too grand to fit in the world, now not even a single hair of it has any place. The narrative emphasizes the absolute transience of worldly existence and the inevitability of death as the ultimate equalizer.
